The warming center in Coffeyville operated by Touch of Life Ministries in the old Lowell School building at 501 E 9th Street will be open nightly for check-ins between 6 and 9 p.m. Organizer Alicia Melton says anyone in need will get more than just a cot to sleep on.

 

The shelter is also in need of donations including food items and blankets. Volunteers are also needed, especially to help serve breakfast starting at 7 a.m. Donations will be accepted each evening. For more information, contact Melton at 918-559-8526.

 

In Independence, warming shelter locations are on stand-by. Residents who believe they will need access to a warming shelter are advised to call the Independence Police Department’s non-emergency line (620) 331-1700 in advance of the cold weather or visit the police department in person at 120 N. 6th.
